This lidded vessel forms the shape of a duck, with a tail pointing from the rear and a head rising to face forward in the front. Qhite slip was applied with visible and long brish strokes, and iron oxide painting adds a rusty hue to match the lower, unglazed clay color.

Stoneware bottle with partial white slip extending up from an incised band near the widest stretch of the body upwards to the lip. Another band is incised just above the former, creating a two-band pattern that is repeated again at the neck. Between these pairs of bands is an abstract design painted in iron-oxide, creating a brown hue against the white slip. The mouth of the bottle is also coated in this reddish-brown hue. The base of the piece is left its natural gray-brown color.<br /> <br /> This is a buncheong bottle produced at a kiln in Hakbong-ri, Gongju-gun, Chungcheongnamdo.

Most buncheong bottles excavated from tombs have damaged mouth. This bottle, too, has been repaired after complete breakage of its rim. The chemicals used during the restoration have flowed down to the center of the body. The rim of the foot reveals the unglazed body and shows the traces of building the foot. The bottle was produced at a kiln in Hakbong-ri, Gongju-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. Its glaze was thinly applied, thus the iron-oxide pigment and white slip have peeled off in many places.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.153]

This is an ordinatley jar shaped like maebyeong with a wide mouth. The shoulder is decorated with iron-pained semi-abstract vignette in two places. The decorated design is reddish brown in color, while its background color is pale gray-green. The foot and outer base are thoroughly glazed, on which are placed coarse sand during firing. The walls become thicker towards the base. The glaze was poorly applied. Therefore, the clay body is exposed in some places around the foot, and blisters reracuted ruptures resulted from bursting of the glaze.<br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014) p.171]
